Ukraine detains 5 in energy sector graft investigation
A Ukrainian anti-corruption agency said on Tuesday it has detained five people and identified seven other suspects in a major graft investigation that centres on alleged kickbacks worth some $100 million in the country’s energy sector. The National Anti-Corruption Bureau did not name the suspects in its statement but said they included a businessman believed to be the scheme’s mastermind; a former advisor to the country’s energy minister; and an executive of the national atomic energy company Energoatom.
